Project Overload…

The phrases ‘best laid plans of mice and men’ and ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ both spring to mind. Both a result of ‘project overload’.

No, not some MI5 codeword, just a state of having too many fingers in too many pies, having too many projects on the go and getting none of them finished for jumping from one to the next.

Photoshop CS and the escape key gremlin…

This is a weird feature of photoshop CS (I’m still on CS2 but this still appears in CS3). When photoshop is open it hijacks the escape key functionality – i.e it stops it working for anything else that’s open!

I first saw this when I moved to a new development laptop using vista (it was ok in XP! surprise surprise) and finding that the escape key sporadically stopped working when using gVim. I thought I’d got a corrupted install so went throught the hastle of reinstalling this only to see the problem still there.
